http://www.mooseyscountrygarden.com/ My gardening journal began in December 1997. In the beginning the entries are a bit erratic but by mid 1999 I was dutifully recording every gardening moment. There are photographs throughout the journal to stop it getting too boring. en-us Copyright 1997-2007 Eggyweb Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:39:25 -0800 http://backend.userland.com/rss eggy@mooseyscountrygarden.com http://www.mooseyscountrygarden.com/garden-journal-09/summer-garden-journal-091104.html What a weekend! Three monster Cabbage trees dug up from another garden, driven across town, and planted on the far edge of the Frisbee Lawn. This morning Non-Gardening Partner and myself are off to pick up a wooden garden bench - another one! Gardens need lots of benches...

Today I do things in a different order - piano first, then breakfast, then gardening. I might even finish my digging project later this afternoon, when the sun has sunk a bit.

Checking first with Non-gardening Partner (whose response was typically mannish - do I really want more of those?) I have 'bought' three monster Cordylines for one dollar. He will help me dig them out this weekend.

For this is the month when summer rolls in, the sun shines down, and everything in the garden grows - and grows - and grows...

Today the Head Gardener starts four days - or is that four weeks? - cleaning up the mess. Stand by for some extremely boring gardening journal writing!

What shall I do first? Weeding, or weeding, or weeding? I'd much rather be planting - I've got several shrubs and a Skunk Cabbage to find places for. Tue, 27 Oct 2009 20:33:45 -0700 http://garden-journal-09/spring-garden-journal-091010.html http://www.mooseyscountrygarden.com/garden-journal-09/spring-garden-journal-091008.html Right. The shaping up of the Head Gardener - and the Moosey Garden - continues, as October zooms past. And the spring garden looks even more beautiful than ever. The Head Gardener is to be warmly congratulated...

Alas, the wood to raise the sides is too heavy to be person-carried into place, but vegetable plants and seeds can certainly get planted! My English Lavender edge rows are growing well...

It's time for seriously pruning and trimming the Head Gardener and getting her into a healthier shape. Hopefully that's all I'll say on the matter.

Colour groups are as follows: lemons, yellows, brick reds, magentas, mid-reds, bluey-reds, soft oranges, lilacs. All soft orange and lemon Dahlias are to go in the Jelly Bean Border near the Graham Thomas roses...

You bet! I've been working hard for hours each October day, ending up slumped in a garden chair. Then I start plotting and planning for the next gardening day...

We won't talk about the cricket...

Gourmet potatoes and pots are planted. The garden wakes up.

I will make every minute of my holidays count. I will not mooch or get bored. I will write up my diary and not lose my cricket radio. I will not get distressed when we lose the cricket. I will even tidy the glass-house...

My Christmas garden presents (some rose archways) are installed. Merry Christmas. Sat, 17 Oct 2009 20:56:38 -0700 http://garden-journal-97/garden-journal-1997-b.html
